Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on ultrasonic weld inspection in good years and paid for in bad ones. Progress on this part of engineering and maintenance work is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within engineering and maintenance work among the areas with the widest performance spread. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to ultrasonic weld inspection in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants leave with a method for this part of engineering and maintenance work, not a set of opinions about it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of engineering and maintenance work rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The level assumes working familiarity with the asset base but no prior formal training in ultrasonic weld inspection. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of engineering and maintenance work survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Build a concise maintenance procedure for ultrasonic weld inspection that colleagues can follow without further explanation.

02

Apply a repeatable review cycle to ultrasonic weld inspection and act on what it produces.

03

Investigate repeat failures on ultrasonic weld inspection to root cause.

04

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on ultrasonic weld inspection.

05

Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on ultrasonic weld inspection.

06

Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for ultrasonic weld inspection.

07

Build the internal capability for ultrasonic weld inspection rather than depending on external support indefinitely.

Course Modules

01

Ultrasonic weld inspection: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating ultrasonic weld inspection safely before work begins

  • Estimate the resource ultrasonic weld inspection requires to run as designed.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for ultrasonic weld inspection based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Remove steps in ultrasonic weld inspection that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Establish the boundary of ultrasonic weld inspection and record what sits outside it.

Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for ultrasonic weld inspection on evidence

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Identify where judgement in ultrasonic weld inspection is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Rehearse the briefing on ultrasonic weld inspection that would follow an incident.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in ultrasonic weld inspection.
02

Ultrasonic weld inspection: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Planning work on ultrasonic weld inspection so it does not become reactive

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Map the handovers in ultrasonic weld inspection between functions and secure them.
  • Set maintenance indicators for ultrasonic weld inspection that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Check that records of ultrasonic weld inspection answer the questions likely to be asked.

Session 2Making ultrasonic weld inspection work when resources are constrained

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Investigate repeat failures on ultrasonic weld inspection to root cause, not to component.
  • Name a single owner for each element of ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Assign a criticality rating to ultrasonic weld inspection that drives work order priority.
03

Ultrasonic weld inspection: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1How ultrasonic weld inspection actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to ultrasonic weld inspection will be introduced.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of ultrasonic weld inspection current.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on ultrasonic weld inspection.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for ultrasonic weld inspection that change behaviour

  • Confirm that reporting on ultrasonic weld inspection reaches the people who can act.
  • Check that ultrasonic weld inspection still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Benchmark the organisation's ultrasonic weld inspection against comparable operations.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains ultrasonic weld inspection to those affected.
04

Ultrasonic weld inspection: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Testing ultrasonic weld inspection before relying on it

  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for ultrasonic weld inspection.
  • Set out the decisions in ultrasonic weld inspection that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Test the procedure for ultrasonic weld inspection against a realistic scenario.
  • Agree what will be standardised in ultrasonic weld inspection and what will not.

Session 2Who answers for ultrasonic weld inspection, and to whom

  • Anticipate the objections ultrasonic weld inspection will raise and prepare the answers.
  • List the credible failure modes of ultrasonic weld inspection and the consequence of each.
  • Review whether ultrasonic weld inspection is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Record what was learned when ultrasonic weld inspection did not go as planned.
